EMBLEM ESSAY

During spring break I went to Florence, Italy. Florence is famous for its Renaissance. The most important family in Florence is the Medici. The Medici’s symbol is 6 balls: 5 red, 1 blue.Do you know what the balls are? They are doctor pills because before they were the creators of the renaissance they were doctors.  That symbol is called a coat of arms but it is also known as an emblem.Emblems have existed since before medieval times.It was originated in England to represent the royal families. The families would all differ in emblems. Emblems are used to represent the rank of the family.
